Press Release - Folk Underground

Folk Underground Brings Malta's Living Folk Heritage Beneath Valletta

Beneath the streets of Valletta, within the historic stone vaults of Sala San Duminku, Folk

Underground invites audiences into the world of għana, Malta's distinctive tradition of folk song,

storytelling, and acoustic guitar.

Performed by celebrated folk masters alongside a new generation of musicians, these weekly

intimate acoustic evenings offer a rare opportunity to experience a living cultural tradition

beyond its usual village and community settings.

Songs of love, loss, humour, resistance, and everyday life unfold through powerful voices,

intricate guitar playing, and centuries-old oral traditions. Far from being a relic of the past, għana

remains a vibrant and evolving art form that continues to inspire contemporary performers and

audiences alike.

Folk Underground presents Malta's musical heritage where it belongs: live, shared, and deeply

connected to the people who continue to carry it forward.
